Daffodils and Springtime Table

With gray skies and flooding all around, Pat said we need something to brighten the day. So - without much prodding, she pulled out some very colorful dinnerware and set this week's table.

This place setting says "seriously sunny" compared to the gray and black rain clouds outside....

Breakfast for One Table

Pat wanted a light and fun table since we are in the middle of a huge "flood event" in our area. Roads are closed and there seems to be no end in sight of the rain. (We just finished a record breaking cold snap with nearly unheard of snow - I don't think Mother Nature can make up her mind.....)

Flatware is "French Rooster" by Cuisinart

The accent plate is "Coq du Village" by Fitz & Floyd

Sorry this picture is so bad - the weather has brought nothing but dark skies and it was nearly impossible to take pictures.

I love these "rooster" glasses - from Tuesday Morning's sale shelf (less than a dollar each)
